Sunday January 8, 2023 - US Kids Tournament

 So this was the first US Kids tournament of the year and only the second one Trevor has ever played in.   After five straight tournament wins on the X3 Tour, this was a huge dose of reality as the boy struggled to a round of 96.   No lost balls, just one penalty stroke, but horrible putting, less than average chipping, and lousy approach shots.   

MAJOR mistake:  No lunch, no snacks in the bag = completely out of gas on the back nine.

Something good to take out of this was on the 471 yard par 4, yes par 4, he had a 274 yard drive (longest ever) and a 200 yard 5 wood to get on the green in regulation.


It's all good.   This round will be the absolute floor for the rest of his golf life.   He knows what he needs to work on and he'll build off of this.

 The kid won his 3rd school tournament at Shalimar by 6 strokes.   He was +5 on nine holes and was pretty consistent.

Sunday March 19, 2023 - X3 Tournament

 Well the boy played a decent round but had one big miss - the fifth hole.   It made no sense.   Total duff on the 130 yard par 3.   Hozel shot that went 80 yards left.   He hasn't done that in a long time.   Second shot went of the back of the green.   Third shot was a lob wedge that he chunked.   Two putts from there for a nast double.   He was +1 on the other eight holes though, good enough for second place.

Thursday October 5, 2023 - Muscle Shoals, AL

Trevor played The Shoals - Fighting Joe course with Bill Beumer, the head golf coach at Grissom High School in Huntsville.   The state championship is being played at this course so he wanted to get familiar with it.   Trevor got off to a rocky start but birdied back to back holes to finish the front nine and cruised to an 82 on yet another great course.
